Is your favorite soda giving you a health benefits? Or its just adding you more weights and increasing the size of your clothes? Think twice, because YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT . For those who dont know yet about the side effects of soda drinks. Here’s what happens in your body when you assault it with a Coke: Within the first 10 minutes, 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. This is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake, and the only reason you don’t vomit as a result of the overwhelming sweetness is because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor. Within 20 minutes, your blood sugar spikes, and your liver responds to the resulting insulin burst by turning massive amounts of sugar into fat. Within 40 minutes, caffeine absorption is complete; your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, and your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. Around 45 minutes, your body increases dopamine production, which stimulates the pleasure centers of your brain – a physically identical response to that of heroin, by the way. After 60 minutes, you’ll start to have a sugar crash. Let’s take a look at some of the other major components of a can of soda: Phosphoric Acid: Which can interfere with the bodys ability to use calcium, leading to osteoporosis or softening of the teeth and bones. Sugar: It is a proven fact that sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging and many more negative side effects. Most sodas include over 100 percent of the RDA of sugar. Sugar is so bad for your health in so many ways, I even created an entire list outlining 100-Plus Ways in Which Sugar Can Damage Your Health. Aspartame: This chemical is used as a sugar substitute in diet soda. There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption including brain tumors, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders and epilispsy/seizures. Caffeine: Caffeinated drinks cause jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, vitamin and mineral depletion, breast lumps, birth defects, and perhaps some forms of cancer. Tap Water: I recommend that everyone avoid drinking tap water because it can carry any number of chemicals including chlorine, trihalomethanes, lead, cadmium, and various organic pollutants. Tap water is the main ingredient in bottled soft drinks. Clearly, the over-consumption of sodas and sweet drinks is one of the leading causes fueling the world-wide obesity epidemic. One independent, peer-reviewed study published in the British medical journal The Lancet demonstrated a strong link between soda consumption and childhood obesity. They found that 12-year-olds who drank soft drinks regularly were more likely to be overweight than those who didnt. In fact, for each additional daily serving of sugar-sweetened soft drink consumed during the nearly two-year study, the risk of obesity jumped by 60 percent. Here’s another sobering fact if you’re struggling with weight issues: Just one extra can of soda per day can add as much as 15 pounds to your weight over the course of a single year! Other statistics on the health dangers of soft drinks include: One soda per day increases your risk of diabetes by 85 percent Soda drinkers have higher cancer risk. While the federal limit for benzene in drinking water is 5 parts per billion (ppb), researchers have found benzene levels as high as 79 ppb in some soft drinks, and of the 100 brands tested, most had at least some detectable level of benzene present Soda has been shown to cause DNA damage – courtesy of sodium benzoate, a common preservative found in many soft drinks, which has the ability to switch off vital parts of your DNA. This could eventually lead to diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver and Parkinsons. What about the HEALTH BENEFITS OF VIDA CARDIO-CEUTICALS DRINKS? Vida is a HEART FRIENDLY product.

The greatest sources are found in fresh fruits and vegetables like watermelon, red grapefruit and tomatoes. Lycopene is one of the six predominant carotenoids found in human plasma. Since humans can’t synthesize carotenoids, we need to getthem from our diet - or dietary supplements. Key benefits: Lycopene has attracted much attention following various reports that associate high intakes of this carotenoid with prevention of heart diseases. As one of the most potent antioxidants, lycopene helps protect our body from free radicals, which can cause damage to cells and contribute to serious illnesses. The prevention of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation may be the reason for a possible risk reduction in atherosclerosis and thus coronary heart diseases. Epidemiological studies also indicate an association between lycopene-rich diets and a reduced risk of prostate cancer. The combination of strong antioxidant properties with additional effects on the inter-and-intracellular communication and signalling pathways may be responsible for the reduction of the risk of prostate cancer.
